How to download RSLogix Micro, RSLinx, and Emulate for free (Fall 2016)

I commend Rockwell on their efforts to improve their website, however it's disappointing they often don't provide redirects from old pages to new, leaving thousands of daily visitors landing on broken or missing pages like the one below:

Hi!
First of all, I wanna say thanks, because your forum is very interesting, and Ii'm using it to improve my knowledge in some things.
I wanna ask you if you know how can I download rslogix emulator 5000, because only the 500 version seems available.
Thanks a lot.

Shawn - Any thoughts on if RSLogix 500 Lite is still valid? Trying to get a remote customer to connect to a 1400. We had them download it along with RSLinx Lite and upon remoting into their machine could see the faqulted processor in Linx but could not go online, upload or diag. Popup window comes up with an error about using Linx Gateway (we are set it up to talk via Enet driver in linx) with Ethernet driver to go online. But we are not using linx gateway.

Using RSLogix Micro Starter Lite with 1400

Hi Shawn,

OK - Full Disclosure - I know next to nothing about PCLs. But I have recently ordered an Micrologix 1400 as a gift for my wife who wants to get back into programming PCLs (she had some experience with SCADA programming in grad school).

After reading your very informative article, I now understand that the RSLogix Micro Starter Lite software I was hoping to download for her does not work with the 1400. What are my options for finding free or affordable software she can use to program the device? I see from one of your responses to a reader comment that there may be a free download utility that can be used to in some way? Can you provide more details on that?

i have the A-b micrologix 1200 How should i go about downloading RSLogix Micro, RSLinx Etc.heard they were free but not being allowed to setup the account need to start the download is there anywhere else where i could get the software???
